‘Puzzles and Dragons’ Makes $12 Per Player, Five Times Its Closest Mobile Competitor

Digital goods tracker SuperData has come out with a new report that reveals the top earning titles in the massive mobile games scene. Free-to-play mobile hits attract tens of millions of users, but then must figure out how to get those players to pay. As such, averaging even 50 cents to a dollar per user is quite good in the space, which is why the #1 spot in the report is so astonishing.

Superdata reports that GungHo Online Entertainment’s Puzzles and Dragons brings in $11.89 per user. That’s almost five times its closest competitor Big Fish Casino at $2.07 per user, and far more than genre staples like Supercell’s Clash of Clans ($1.31) and King’s Candy Crush Saga ($0.75). Here’s the full chart to get a better picture of the disparity.
